well the hot water would be in the tank, and most likely cooled down before the next flush. Also, i don't think you'd ever heat the whole toilet up to the point of melting that seal. They take quite a bit of heat to actually run.

I think you will feel better about it quite a bit, even though it is no big deal. Sometimes the little things do matter.

It applies to all plumbing, but really, it's not that big of a deal. If properly marked, it should not be an issue. You can buy red and blue hose bibb handles at the hardware store. Washing machines get hooked up once every 15 years or so, it's not like you're making hose connections there every day.

And the hot water would never touch the seal except during the flush.

Yeah same in some Gulf states. No freezing temps of course. Low pressure mains water was accumulated from the street mains in a big tank at ground level in the yard. Then another pump raised that to another tank on the roof. Both tanks although painted white were out in the open with the sun beating on them. Identical systems for each living unit. By February too hot to walk across the tiled yard in bare feet by

11.00 AM; so you can imagine how hot the 'cold' water was. Sewage was frequently not piped away to a treatment plant; in many compounds it was accumulated in large underground tanks. Then a large tanker, typically with two Honda type pumps mounted at the back would come and suck it up, which took some time and could be quite odorous on a hot day! The pumping operation often occurred twice a week about 50 feet from some one's front door
